The Series
Hillsdale leads the all-time series with Indianapolis 15-14, though the Greyhounds have enjoyed the upper hand of late. UIndy has won three straight games over the Chargers, including last year's 38-7 decision at Hillsdale. The Chargers' last win over the 'Hounds came on Sept. 19, 2009, when it recorded a 23-0 shutout. That was the last home shutout recorded by Hillsdale.

- Timmy Mills, a junior wide receiver at Hillsdale, has an older brother Chris, who was a quarterback for Indianapolis earlier this decade.
- The Chargers won five straight season openers from 2006-10, but have now lost five straight Week 1 games, dating back to 2011.
